Yesterday was the day!
We got to "tap" our first batch of ginger soda! After waiting 2 weeks for it to bubble and brew, we were anxious to taste our homemade concoction. Especially my son, who babied and fed his Ginger Bug vehemently for 7 days; hard commitment for THIS 8 year old boy!
I was a little apprehensive, as our ale looked quite flat sitting on the shelf. Don't let that quiet look fool you!
I unscrewed the top just a tad....WHOOOOOOOOSHHHHH!
Olala!
There was some serious carbonation happening in that bottle! It took about 10 minutes of slow release until we could finally get our lips on our brew.
YUMMY! Need I say more?
We have been experimenting with our water kefir brews also. My favorite sofar: plain with some lemon. My kid's favorite sofar: Vanilla Cream (just add some vanilla :)...), and lemon with cinnamon chips (like that one too!).
Happy brewing!
Sounds delicious! I have yet to try to make my own soda. I just ordered some kefir grains though, so I may be making some soon!
